TOPIC: When Your Dream Becomes A Nightmare
Fire Scripture: Genesis 37:14-28
Memory Verse: Genesis 37:20 “ Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.”
Motivational Quote: Dreams can only become great exploits as we abide with Jesus Christ.
Prophetic Word: Your dream shall not become a stillbirth in the name of Jesus.
Since God created man in His own image and after His likeness, there is this in-built desire in every man to become great in life. This innate seed of greatness inspires in everyone’s dreams of wondrous accomplishment in life. Dream, in this context, is not referring to you sleeping and experiencing motion pictures involving you and others in your subconscious mind. The usage of “dream” here refers to the big picture you created for your future.
It refers to your aspiration and the beautiful vision about the type of life you desire for every facet of your life – in your relationship with your Creator, your career, your marriage, your family, your finances, your spouse, your home, your children, etc. We all have sweet dreams about these indices of our lives.
Many of these beautiful dreams about our lives come from the Almighty God, just as He gave to Joseph the glorious dream about the future He designed for him. But the dream of Joseph became a nightmare because the devil has a way of always trying to thwart God’s plan for us.
It was as if the glorious dream concerning the future of Joseph would die. We thank God that whatever He has purposed will always come to pass. Nightmare, as a figurative expression, refers to a troublesome and frightful experience. It is when expectations are threatened and things are not working out as planned. Nightmare also refers to critical setbacks or stressful challenges.
Beloved, because of satanic interference and the invisible battles confronting believers, it could be that your dreams have become a nightmare. You may be thinking that all those wonderful plans and pictures you once had and cherished may not survive the ferocious attacks of the enemy.
Please know this: just as the envious brothers of Joseph could not amputate his dream, no power will be able to kill your dream, in the name of Jesus. However, if you are not born again, there is no way the actualisation of your dreams can be guaranteed. Accept Jesus Christ now and be well-positioned for exploits.
